Gewürztraminer Trockenbeerenauslese (Noble Late Harvest) Gewürztraminer 2025 375ml

Our newly released dessert wine is a richly botrytised style, Warwick and Edel's homage to her home of Rheingau in Germany & its great noble wines called 'Trockenbeerenauslese'. The highest of four levels of dessert wines in Germany, Trockenbeerenauslese is ultra concentrated in flavour, with a complex texture and rich viscosity.

The intense bouquet of apricots, honey and exotic floral characters is mirrored on the palate. Sweet fig and dried apricot flavours unfold to reveal Manuka smoke and honey and spice.  The lusciously high natural sweetness (160g/l) is superbly balanced with strong, but well integrated acidity (8.6 g/l). The finish is long and smooth and lingers forever. Already a very complex dessert wine this exotically spicy nectar will easily age for decades to come.  Released December 2025, not rated yet (375 ml, 11.5% Alc.)

The German variety ‘Gewürztraminer’ translates to ‘Spicey Traminer” - its spiciness most notable in its smooth, lingering finish. It’s well deserving of its name and is the perfect accompaniment to your favourite cheese board or enjoy with apricot crumble or instead of dessert.
